I recently heard a take of "what boomers don't understand about millennials and younger generations is that we don't expect anything good to happen ever again." I've talked to a lot of friends about this and the general consensus is "...yeah" not a single person has disputed it, even a little. When I mentioned this to my dad, he complained that his social security might be reduced in the next few years.
In no particular order, from where I am:

That hotdog sealed in resin.
If you want some good news: the earth is greener than it was 20 years ago. About 5% greener, mostly due to big tree planting projects in India and China, but also due to de-desertification efforts on the edges of the Saha, Forrest restoration in the Americas rewilding efforts in Europe (which are also introducing native wildlife back to Europe like wolves, bison and beavers) and even the redesigning of urban centres to include more green space.
Don't be silly, the fentanyl market is booming, and military spending is through the roof!
On a side note, I don't know who this guy in the suit is, but check his hard drive.
I just want to know why Jack Napier from Batman's 1980s flashbacks has a podcast?
It will continue to get worse because humanity has failed. God stays in heaven because the devil has won.
Emulation.
Uhh, theres good indie games...Foss projects.
Is there more? Maybe medical advancements no one can afford.
That is what people have been saying since ancient Greek times
Linux!
So much is getting better, social media and negativity bias in general is just making it seem like it's not.
Just for example, percentage of green energy is steadily rising. Even if it is not fast enough, that is still a constant improvement.
